Idaho Fish Report

The Owyhee River is currently flowing at about 242 cfs below the dam. Anglers should avoid wading in gravelly areas to protect buried eggs.
Some good fishing can still be found away from spawning brown trout. Try fishing some of the deeper, slower water with streamers for post-spawn browns or egg patterns for larger rainbows.
The best fishing will be in the upper six miles of the Lower Owyhee below the dam. Crankbaits, spoons and spinners can also be productive.
